Post-doctoral Associate

Description:

The Future-Generation of Resilient and Infrastructure Design Technology Hub (Future-GRID TecH) in the Division of Engineering at New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit two motivated Post-Doctoral Associates. The candidates will work under the supervision of Future-GRID TecH director Dr. Mohamed Moustafa to carry out cutting-edge research in the broad area of future structures and resilient infrastructure systems with interest in applications of new and emerging technologies.

• advanced construction and reinforcement materials (e.g. UHPC, ECC, SMA)
• UHPC mix development, material characterization, modeling, and structural design
• structural 3D concrete printing
• computational mechanics and structural topology optimization
• vision-based structural health monitoring
• autonomous and drone-based infrastructure inspection and vibration monitoring
• performance-based wind engineering and wind tunnel testing
• real-time hybrid simulation and cyber-physical systems and experimental methods

Successful candidates must hold a PhD degree in Civil/Structural Engineering, or related field such as Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Nuclear Engineering, and Material Science. Other required qualifications include: strong communication and presentation skills; a track record in writing and publishing peer-reviewed journal publications; and previous or relevant experience in mentoring or supervising undergraduate student research or junior graduate students.
